Down By The River

© Jenn Cleary

down by the river
down by the river one day
a voice deep within said
why don’t you jump right in?
I said, but why would I do that?
I’m comfortable here on shore
it’s safer to watch from a distance
hear that river roar!

why do I fear so?
can’t I just let go?
trust where life will take me
trust where the river flows

I put my toe in
just to test the water
no, now I think
it’s time to go on back
but go back to what
the river is calling me
maybe it’s time I took a chance
take me to the sea

why do I fear so….

I’m tired of resisting
and believing that I’m in control
why not relax?
and accept where I might go

why do I fear so….
